Jaguar congratulates triumphant England Cricket Team

The England Cricket Team, led by Andrew Strauss, have scored an emphatic win against India in the npower Test series, clinching the world number one spot in the ICC rankings in the process.

The team have been supported by Jaguar since last year when it became the Official Vehicle supplier of the England Cricket Team.  The partnership sees England's centrally contracted cricketers drive Jaguar's XJ, XK or XF models.

Geoff Cousins, Managing Director, Jaguar Cars UK, commented: 'I would like to pass on my congratulations to the Team on their thrilling and well‑deserved win.  We're proud not only to be official vehicle suppliers to the England Cricket Team but also to be able to encourage the next generation of aspiring cricketers through the Jaguar Academy of Sport.  This win will undoubtedly help inspire a new generation of talented sports men and women ‑ the Academy of Sport can help them take the next step.'

The focus of Jaguar's support extends to a strategic partnership with the ECB's National Cricket Performance Centre.  This association forms part of Jaguar's long term commitment to British Sport under the umbrella of the 'Jaguar Academy of Sport' which aims to recognise celebrate and inspire the very best of British sporting talent and success.  Sir Ian Botham is a patron of the Academy while Andrew Strauss and Michael Vaughn are ambassadors.
